Chapter 192 Twenty-Nine Crafting Competition
"Master Cherch, not to mention one of those dark irons, it's enough to fight ten swords, how about the reward for me to use the rest to make two swords?"
Cherch shook his head and said, "Although the dark iron is a good thing, I don't need it, and what I don't need is waste to me, so I want other rewards." ”
"Then you say, I will do my best to do what I can do. "Excellence deep voice.
Cherch said in a deep voice: "Two conditions, one is to find the Ring of Gold to bring to me, and the other is to help me kill a dwarf named Hingis." As long as you do these two things, let alone two swords, I am willing to be a craftsman for you forever and your special caster. ”
Excellence was overjoyed when he heard the gold ring, this thing was in his hands, and it was useless to find the information about the gold anyway, and the money and possessions were meaningless to him now. So he said: "Can you tell me the reason, I would like to find the gold ring, but if I kill a dwarf for no reason, I have to know the reason." ”
Cerch then told the reason, and Excellence knew what the curse of the Nibelungen treasures was all about.
It turned out that the ring was made by Cherch's ancestor, a dwarf named Dwarin, who lent it to a dwarf named Andvali more than two hundred years ago. Andwali took the ring to the bottom of the river to collect the gold, but was discovered by Loki, who was looking for the gold ransom. Not only did Loki snatch all the gold that Andvali had worked so hard to collect, but he also snatched the Helmet of Dread on his head and the gold ring in his hand.
If the gold is lost, it can be collected again, and although the fear helmet is not bad, there is no way to snatch it away from a great god, but this gold ring is borrowed from someone else, and it is promised to be returned soon, Andvali thinks of Cherch's angry face, and curses loudly that whoever holds this ring will be killed.
What Loki wants now is to redeem Odin and Hainir, otherwise it will be a shame if he can't redeem it for more than three days, who cares about Andrwali's curse, and besides, he's not happy with Herimad, it's better for this guy to die. So he ignored Andwali at all, and returned to Herimad's house in a hurry, throwing the gold and the Helm of Dread and the Ring of Gold into the otter skin, ransomed the two gods.
Although Cherch was unhappy that Andwali had lost the ring, he didn't have the ability to ask Loki for it, and when he heard the news that the gold ring had fallen into Herimard's hands, he wanted to exchange it for something else. After arriving, Fafnir had already killed his father, turned into a dragon and hid, he looked for a long time and didn't know where to hide, but he couldn't find it.
Siegfried was excited after hearing this, and stammered, "Cut... Elder Cherch, you say... You say you're a descendant of Master Dwalin, but he doesn't live in the land of the dwarves - the legendary Nidwial, how did you get here?"
Cerch's face darkened when he heard this, and he instantly became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is why I want you to kill that damn Hingis, he is the descendant of the source of shame of our family, only by killing him, can our glory be restored!"
Siegfried's heart moved, and he whispered, "Is he a descendant of Sindri or Blok?"
"A descendant of Sindri, who is now the patriarch of their people, and lives in the dwarven kingdom of Swatar Faheim. Cerch said with a dark face.
"Hey, boy, what's the story here, let's hear it and let us know what's going on. "Excellence pulled Siegfried, Wonder.
Siegfried then remembered that neither of them knew the story, so he looked at Cherch. Cherch said with a calm face: "Say it, anyway, this matter is already known to the world." ”
Siegfried then told the story, and Excellence discovered that it had something to do with Thor, and of course, the source was the guy named Loki.
Legend has it that Thor's wife, Sif is beautiful, and her long blond hair accounts for a large part of this beauty. Her blonde hair was plentiful and long, and when it fell down, it covered her whole body like a golden glow, so Thor loved his wife's beautiful long hair.
Unfortunately, this beauty was suddenly gone, and one day Thor went back to find that the sleeping Sif had turned bald, and then he became furious, and he expected that this must be the good work of that damn Loki, and that no one else dared to do such a prank.
Angry Thor is terrified, he grabs Loki and beats him, and after searching for Sif for blonde hair, he asks Loki to find a way to grow his hair back on Sif head, otherwise he will hit him again and again. How can the hair that can be cut grow back, Loki is helpless, thinking of the ingenuity of the dwarves, so he goes to the underground dwarf kingdom to ask for help, and finally asks for Devalin's head.
Thinking that this was a gift to the gods, Dwalin made blonde hair out of gold thread, and it was said that as soon as it was placed on Sif head, it would take root and become three points more beautiful than real hair. It was so popular that the gods admired Dwalin's craftsmanship.
Devalin was delighted, and took the opportunity to make a golden spear from the branches of the World Tree for Odin, and a cloud ship for Frey, the god of abundance. The golden spear was engraved with Runaven's sacred pact, and through its magical power, not only could it be missed, but there was almost nothing to block its blow, and Odin liked it so much that he gave it the name Gungnir. The cloud ship could fly in the air and in the water, and it could hold all the gods, and the small could become the size of a finger, and Frey was even more delighted.
Loki was overjoyed to see that the dwarves he had invited were so capable, and when he sent Dwalin back to the ground, he praised him in front of the dwarves as the best forger, the most ingenious man in the world.
At this point, a dwarf named Blok was not pleased, and he was not convinced, saying that his brother Sindri could forge something more magical, and that he would make a bet with Loki.
Loki didn't believe that anyone else could be more ingenious than Dwalin, so they made a bet on their own heads, and made a pact that since Dvalin had made three things, the brothers would also build three different things for the gods.
Sindri and Blok first made a large golden boar from boar skin, called the Golden Mane, which could fly through the air, and then made the polygold ring Dropnir, a symbol of production. In the end, there was only one thing left, and they were to build a hammer that could unleash lightning.
When Loki saw that the brothers were able to create a living creature, he was afraid that he would lose his head, so he turned into a gadfly and stabbed the wind-blowing Blok's eyes until Blok's eyes were bleeding and he could not see. Blok could not see anything, so he had to raise his hand to drive the gadfly away, but after a moment's pause, something was broken: although the hammer was cast and functioned normally, the handle was a little shorter.
The Blok brothers presented the golden-maned boar to Frey, the gold-bearing ring to Odin, and the hammer named Mjörnir to Thor. The gods judged that victory belonged to the Blok brothers, because not only could they create living creatures, but the miraculous Thunderhammer Mjörnir would enable Thor to win forever in his battle against the frost giants, the feud of the gods.
